“Amanda takes the best care of our cat and dog. Our cat is definitely a quiet old man, but he tolerates Amanda which is a real win!

Everything is well cared for when Amanda comes to take care of the boys!”

About: Hi, my name is Allyse. I have been doing Rover since November 2024. I love this job because I learn about other people’s dogs/cats and their breeds. I love helping people and their animals. I'm an animal lover with a passion for caring for pets. I've been around cats and dogs throughout my life and enjoy spending time with them. I'm excited to bring my enthusiasm and dedication to pet-sitting. When you're away, I promise to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I'm committed to building trust and ensuring your pets' happiness. I'm a college student studying Animal Health & Behavior with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. With my flexible job driving for DoorDash, Instacart and Amazon Flex, I can choose when I work. This means I'm available 7 days a week and can adjust my schedule to make sure your pet gets the care they need. As a pet sitter, I promise to create a safe and cozy environment for your furry friend. I'll keep a calm and patient attitude to put pets at ease, follow their feeding and watering schedule, spend quality time playing and giving attention, help with training if needed, and make sure the home is pet-proofed. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I'll work with you to understand their specific requirements and provide personalized care. As a Rover sitter, I'm dedicated to delivering exceptional care and ensuring your pet's happiness.
“Our 3 kitties absolutely love Ja! She's a true lover of animals and understands how hard it is to leave our babies at home when we leave. She provides stellar communication with photos, has very good attention to detail, asks questions, and spends real quality time with the kitties. We feel incredibly at ease when Ja is looking after our little pack!”
“Phoebe is amazing!! She is so good with both of our pups!! She's easy to book and we're so comfortable leaving our 4 legged loved ones in her hands!! She provides lots of pictures and a nice recap of her visit!! So happy we found her and our pups love her!”
“For never having a person drop in to take care of our dogs before I was very nervous, but Cristine was wonderful. She set up a meet and greet before hand and the day before she confirmed that she was coming. Throughout her two visits she sent adorable pictures and gave an update on the dogs. We are very happy with her and will be using her in the future.”
“My two shy kitties obviously loved Amanda based on the pictures of them playing! One of them had to get medicine and had to be encouraged to eat and Amanda was successful every day! She seems very knowledgeable about cats. I appreciated her daily photos of the cats (and the empty food bowl!). She was always on time and did a great job. She was also really helpful and responsive about a small snag with Rover’s charges. I would definitely book again with Amanda!”
“Emily was awesome with my dog and cat! She was flexible with a last minute change I thought of, thorough in caring for and walking my dog, and communicated how each of her visits were. I’d highly recommend her and will use her services in the future if she’s available.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mertztown is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,610 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mertztown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
